As the years go on and the times change, collectibles do to. I'll help you keep on the collectible world's up and up.
Comic Books
Due to the successful revival of D.C. and Marvel in Hollywood cinema and the subsequent box office smash, Comic Books are back! The collecting world has recently experienced a surge in collectible prices thanks to such films as Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, and Iron Man.Beanie Babies
These Ty Co. “Beanies” were once the pinnacle of the collector's treasure chest spoils, retailing anywhere from $5 to thousands of American dollars. Now check "em out on eBay - they"re nearly impossible to sell, laying stagnant at low prices and rarely attracting bids. The Beanies have been bagged.Pokemon Cards
The Japanese amine craze that swept the country has come and gone. The once fabled “Hologram Cards” now sell for less than a buck or two a piece, if you're lucky.The Beatles
The current generation has egged on a revival of the golden age of Beatlemania, aided by such hits as Across the Universe and Cirque du Soliel's “Love.” Beatles albums, autographs, and even lunch boxes are now fairing better than ever in the market.Baseball
Because the American sport of Baseball is so inseparably woven in to the fabric of the country, collectors and consumers alike still value baseball cards to signed balls, Babe Ruth to Mickey Mantle.Coins
America is currently experiencing a time of record-low presidential ratings, cultural pride, and nationalism. The economy is volatile and crumbling, leaving fewer and fewer folks as interested in coin collecting as they used to be. Consequently, many prices and values of old coins have dropped.Pez Dispensers
PEZ Dispensers are out. A living shrine to times when junior could still get three gumballs for a penny, these plastic candy dispensers no longer create the excitement and warm feelings they used to back in the day.Historical Memorabilia
No time like the present to collect, trade, and sell the past. Historical Memorabilia continues to remain a valuable collecting commodity.Wines
Wines, as you might expect, continue to do exceptionally well in the fine wine market. A flare for elegance, style, and taste will keep consumers collecting and saving old wines (usually to enjoy themselves years down the road, not to sell.)Disney Mania
Though Disneyland and other Disney outlets such as the Disney channel remain popular in pop culture, the Disney Princess generation has mostly grown up and faded away. No longer do Disney collectible items fare as well in the collectibles market.Rock Collecting
Rock collecting has become as ancient as rocks themselves, and continues to lose its appeal to the masses. In favor of raw rocks, many would prefer to collect and trade historical artifacts and documents.Vinyl
Record sales are now back in once more, as the window of “generational familiarity” has passed and vinyl has official become completely vintage. It is popular today to rebel against the technological machine that swarms consumers with iPods, MP3s, and electronically pirated music that strips albums of their soul and dignity. Records are again the way to go!
